re: "I would be foolish to leave," les miles

We expect fans to have loyalty to the program and they are scourged if they say anything negative. We expect players and former players to have loyalty to the program and they are damned if they don't express this or their actions bring down the program. Yet somehow, the coach, who is certainly the most important of the three gets a pass.

He can "talk" with Michigan or Arkansas about going there and somehow this is not disloyal? On the one hand he is just a paid employee who goes where the dollar and job conditions are the best. On the other he is the face of LSU football and all it represents.

If a player has the nerve to transfer, he has to sit out a year. A coach? No problem, here today and gone tomorrow with maybe a press conference in between.

Money talks and bullshite walks and coaches are full of both!
